Stormwater Education Program

Stormwater Consortium of Rockland County

The Stormwater Consortium of Rockland County was formed to allow for a collaborative approach to addressing water quality concerns.  This approach has led to the development and implementation of a comprehensive State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Phase II compliance program.

The Consortium comprised of 16 participating MS4s has worked to achieve the six minimum control measures.  Participating MS4s include all 5 towns and 11 villages in Rockland County.  Establishing a Consortium has provided a platform for the exchange of information and ideas for meeting the new permit requirements.

In collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Soil & Water Conservation District, the Consortium has provided the following:
           

  • Stormwater educational sessions for homeowners, businesses and professionals
  • Established two local stormwater laws: Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination and Erosion and Sediment Control
  • Grant assistance to fund efforts
